Benefits

The DutyCalculator extension "Charge import duty & taxes" enables you to charge accurate import duty & taxes at moment of purchase and offer your products at a total landed cost to your international customers. With the extension, you can classify products, calculate and charge accurate import duty & taxes at checkout and generate commercial invoices and packing lists with all required information. Now your international customers can make informed purchase decisions, with the confidence that they will not face any unexpected customs charges. Further advantages are a better customer experience and reduced return shipments and unpaid custom charges.

How it works

Classification of products: Import duty & tax rates depend on the country of destination, type and value of product. To determine the accurate rates, you need to classify your product catalog and select for each product the appropriate DutyCalculator category. You can do this product by product from the Magento Product Information section or you can make use of DutyCalculator Rapid Classification tool. For this, you can download your product catalog from Magento, upload it into the Rapid Classification Tool, classify the products, download the classification results file and upload the results file into Magento.

Calculation of import duty & taxes: Using the product classification, product values and shipping costs, DutyCalculator calculates accurate import duty & taxes and ads these to the charges in the checkout. All import duty & tax information is added to the order info, at product level.

Generation of import duty & taxes: Once an order is confirmed, DutyCalculator generates the commercial invoice and packing lists, including 10-digit HS codes for country of destination. These documents are available for printing from the Magento order section.
